Working with it, not against....

I didn't think I would do posts much, while I deal with CSs, but have decided to post as much as I can.
Today, I want to post something I posted on my FB page. I was overwhelmed with the responses and support I received from everyone. :)

 "I am thankful that i have Churg Strauss Syndrome. There is obviously a reason and lessons to be learnt thru experiencing this. I am thankful it is CSS and not something far worse. I have been given an opportunity to correct the direction i was going."

I am rereading Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life" and working through all the emotional events that have occurred in my life in the last 5 yrs. I am sure there are answers there.


Thank you to all my wonderful blog friends who are saying prayers and sending me healing thoughts. I appreciate them all, and love you all.

Churg Strauss Syndrome

If you are wondering where I have been, I have been very sick for the last 7 weeks. 6 of those weeks dosed up on painkillers and a week in hospital.
Seems I have Churg Strauss Syndrome. My main obvious symptom at this stage is vasculitis in the legs and arms and hands, particularly the right (I am right handed). Walking is very difficult, and I have no function in my right hand at all.
I won't be doing much on the internet - it takes so long to get around with one hand that gets tired easily.
So if you have been thinking I am ignoring your blogs, you now know that is not so. It's just abit too much for me to cope with yet.
I am on high doses of immunosuppressants which also keep me awake, so i will have time to practise on the laptop. So as long as my left hand doesn't deteriate, i will get there. :)  I also have to get used to not using a mouse. lol
Have to admit, my world feels a little shaken at the moment, but as one of my friends says, 2 steps forward, one step back stills equals forward momentum.
